Abstract

A system of wirelessly communicative sensors embedded in a person's clothing. In order to remotely monitor and treat a patient's health, sensor devices are embedded in clothing, skin, and the human body itself. Healthcare, the military, sports, and remote treatment are just a few of the modern WBSN applications. It improves people's quality of life by allowing for more precise and quicker disease diagnosis as well as more timely care and more effective treatment. Even if a patient is far away from medical care, WBSN can still save their life. Despite the numerous benefits that WBSN technology brings to healthcare systems, there are legitimate concerns about security and privacy when it comes to collecting and transmitting physiological data about humans in an open setting. Ensuring the security of physiological data during transmission in a wireless environment is a challenging but crucial task. Key distribution, authentication, data integrity, and data confidentiality are just a few of the many security issues plaguing the WBSN. In tackling the WBSN security issues, this research contributes significantly. Secure transmission in wireless networks and high attack resistance are both provided by the cryptographic computational process. Nevertheless, the unsecure transmission of keys across networks is the sole vulnerability of public and private key cryptography methods. Attackers can easily crack traditional key sharing protocols used by communicating parties. Intruders can compromise the system's security in its entirety if they obtain the secret key. In WBSN, a secure way to generate and distribute secret keys is required. The EBB84QCP is a method for creating and sharing secret keys between communicating parties. Rather than using two prime numbers, the Enhanced and Modified RSA Cryptosystem (EMRSACS) suggests using four prime numbers for key generation, encryption, and decryption. Data transmission in wireless networks still involves a secret quantum key that is used for encryption and decryption of human body sense. The robust secrecy of WBSN is guaranteed by these two improved parameters: four prime numbers and a secret quantum key. Key generation, encryption, decryption, and overall execution time are all significantly longer with the suggested method compared to RSA. It uses more power and memory than is necessary for RSA.

Secure Quantum Key Distribution Encryption method for Efficient Data Communication in Wireless Body Area Sensor Net-works

Y Sai Suguna, B Kavya Reddy, V Keerthi Durga +1 more

Wireless sensor networks has found its advancement in sensing the physiological parameters of human body through WBAN. Such nodes are either implanted or surface mounted on the human body in a particular position. The main purpose of these networks is to send the data generated by the wearable device outside the WLAN or the Internet. The BAN will continuously monitor the psychological changes like blood volume pressure (BVP), Brain signals etc. Uncertainty in the normal values will result in transmit all the information to the respective recipient to take required treatment. If an emergency is detected, the doctor instantly updates the patient’s health by sending a specific message. There is limited confidentiality, so the intruders will gather sensitive data. Public key cryptography can be used to create an unprotected communication channel. It also provides a convenient way to implement keys. This paper is focusing on a unique key generation technique called Quantum key distribution, which is used to create symmetric key method by using quantum properties of optics to transfer information from one Client to another in One-Time Pad manner. The special feature of the technique is to guarantee that the key cannot be intercepted during transmission without alerting the users to provide high authentication for received data.

A. Jemshia Miriam, Bhuvan Unhelkar, Siva Shankar +1 more

The resource limitations of IoT nodes and the vulnerability of wireless channels to cyberattacks and snooping, the quick spread of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in wireless surroundings has created serious challenges to data security and privacy. The development of quantum computing, which can meritoriously crack classical encryption, is posing a growing threat to recognized cryptographic techniques like RSA and ECC. By applying concepts from quantum mechanics like predicament cloning, quantum cryptography, in particular Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), provides tentatively unbreakable security. In order to integrate lightweight quantum key exchange with traditional IoT communication protocols, this paper proposes a comprehensive Quantum Cryptography Framework (QCF) exactly designed for Wireless IoT networks. The framework is made to preserve energy efficiency while certifying forward secrecy, confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. A performance evaluation in terms of latency, throughput, and resistance to quantum attacks supports our discussion of the architecture, working mechanism, and implementation deliberations. The findings show that, when compared to traditional encryption methods, the suggested QCF greatly improves the security of wireless IoT systems, certifying resilience against oppositional models of the future.

Lattice-Based Quantum Cryptography Technique for High-Security Authentication in WBSNs

Kenchali Shivaji Rao, Bhuvaneswari R, Rajendran P +2 more

Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs) have rapidly developed to allow real-time health monitoring and remote medical diagnostics with better patient care. However, due to the sensitive nature of the data transferred within WBSNs, more integrated security mechanisms are mandatory, especially against possible attacks by both classical and quantum adversaries. The developments in quantum computing may break the conventional encryption schemes, so it is very important to explore quantum-resistant systems. The paper proposes a new scheme for lattice-based high-security authentication in WBSNs. Lattice-based cryptography provides post-quantum security as it has inherent resistance against quantum attacks and assumptions about the hardness of the computational problem, especially the Learning with Errors problem and the SVP. The architecture proposed strengthens defenses against man-in-the-middle, impersonation, and eavesdropping attacks by authenticating and ensuring that a safe key exchange takes place and that data integrity is achieved. It analyzes the performance, security overhead, and energy economy of LBQC to make sure it is appropriate for such low-power, low-resource contexts. The experimental outcomes validate the applicability of this technique, highlighting how well it will protect WBSNs against attacks from methods developed by quantum computing, and, at the same time, the system will remain resilient and the data confidential.

Enhancing Healthcare Data Security Using Quantum Cryptography for Efficient and Robust Encryption

C. Bagath Basha

Healthcare requires data encryption to safeguard sensitive patient information from unauthorized access or breaches. Encryption ensures that data is encoded into a secure format, making it unreadable to anyone without the decryption key. This helps maintain patient privacy, protects against identity theft, and ensures compliance with data protection regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.). With encryption, healthcare organizations can mitigate the risk of data breaches and uphold trust with patients by ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of their medical records and personal information. Quantum cryptography emerges as a revolutionary solution, offering unparalleled encryption for healthcare data. This process initiates with the meticulous crafting of quantum states to encapsulate healthcare data securely, ensuring precise encoding. Subsequently, quantum entanglement is established between sender and receiver, creating a secure communication channel resistant to interception attempts. Quantum key distribution then generates a secure key leveraging entangled quantum states, becoming the cornerstone of encryption. Quantum encryption shields healthcare data in an impenetrable veil of secrecy, leveraging the complexities of quantum mechanics to thwart unauthorized decryption attempts. The decryption process, facilitated by the shared secure key, unveils the encrypted healthcare data exclusively to authorized parties, preserving confidentiality with unparalleled precision. The result reveals quantum cryptography's superiority in healthcare data encryption. At 150-bit key length, quantum cryptography takes 352,237 milliseconds vs. AES's 310,285 milliseconds. For a 14 KB input, quantum cryptography requires 7 milliseconds compared to AES's 12 milliseconds. These metrics highlight quantum cryptography's efficiency gains and transformative potential in healthcare data security, promising both enhanced security and efficiency benefits.
